In this story:


The Houston Rockets are hoping to extend their lead on the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference as they take on the Golden State Warriors at the Chase Center in San Francisco.

The Rockets have been the little brother to the Warriors for the better part of a decade, and this year has been more of the same. Golden State has won three of the four prior meetings this season, but Houston's lone victory came in the NBA Cup quarterfinal that punched the Rockets' tickets to Las Vegas.

Now, the stakes are possibly even higher as the Rockets look to gain more distance in the playoff standings while the Warriors hope to get closer to avoiding the Play-In Tournament.

The two teams could very well meet up in the playoffs after this, so this game could be a preview of what's to come for the pair of rivals.
